Actually it should be pretty nice. Should be me and my mechanic off on our own. The PSG should take care of all the other soldiers. My focus is maintenance and keeping everything up to par for the det.

OH, and we did a bit of CLS training the other day.

Needed a little comic relief, and it was hilarious to see the students reaction when they came to me while checking over the "casualties"

CLS = Combat Life Saver. One step below a medic, they do the "quick fix up" in the field until you can get to a medic.

Any others you don't know, feel free to ask, or google them, they quite often come up.

Do they still require a CLS in every squad?

"require" used loosely, but we had at least that in our BN. In fact, one company had a 95% qualified rating.

We had a lot of free time for training.

We had a similar percentage in our unit. They made just about everyone go through CLS training who wasn't already CLS qualified when we went through PMT (pre-mobilization training, for the uninitiated). Really though... there are just some people who aren't cut out for sticking others with needles.
